AGAVE Changes Improve Outlook As the major influencing factor in the Lancer’s lives, academics became the re- quired reason for attending classes. Every- day, students could be seen going back and forth to classes. The new construction made it more convenient for the upper- classmen. There were no more broken down trailers or cold walks from building to building. For the new freshmen, howev- er, changing classes became increasingly difficult as the school expanded. Because of the new construction, many de- partmental changes took place. The Eng- ish department was given the upstairs floor of the round building, while the histo- ry and foreign language departments shared the lower floor. The math depart- nent was given the newly constructed air- conditioned addition. To the delight of Mrs. Frymier, a new library was opened with a security system. Each department was also given a new Apple computer. In English, students experienced Roman traditions by re-enacting the Feast of the Lupercal and by presenting Manchester's version of the Canterbury tales. Moreover, students brushed up on their government skills by visiting the Virginia General As- sembly. A new class, advanced placement biology, was offered in the science department, while the science fair helped students in the art of experimentation. Other new classes offered were in the math depart- ment. Two of these were Computer Math and AP Computer. The home economics classes held recep- tions, so did the foreign language depart- ment, as they hosted receptions for stu-’ dents with outstanding averages during the year.
